Prevent an immediate flag cap in Twin peaks

[sascatuan]

Did not see this in any previous threads, but it appears that dropping a totem directly where the flag is on the opposing teams flag it will prevent the returning of a flag, will only last as long as it takes to kill the totem or for them to realize this, i can not confirm it works 100% of the time, but it was used against us in a RBG and took a few seconds to realize why we could not cap right away.

Not working, tried it on about 10 flag caps.

Waiting confirmation. Gonna try it within 2 hours.

Weird, will try this when servers come avail. Also, are you sure you didn't CC the flag carrier on the cap spot? I know as a druid i cyclone any flag carriers right before they cap, so my team has 6 extra seconds to pick it up. Game saver.

no, this was used against our team, a totem was directly on top of where the flag was, may have been a stone claw totem, and we were unable to cap the flag until it was killed. I cant reproduce this since im not shammy but, it did indeed happened.

Really weird, got two shamans to try this in rated bg's yesterday. No luck. :\
